Which niggas owed money downstairs.

Especially that last one.

Kiana could remember a debt from six months ago down to the fucking dollar.

I ain’t meet her until I came home six months ago, and once I laid eyes on her fine ass, that was pretty much all she wrote.

Took me maybe two weeks before I fucked her.

We kept it simple after that.

Kiana handled business too well for me to ever let pussy fuck up money.

She walked toward us with her tablet tucked underneath one arm.

Her eyes landed on Xavier.

Then me.

Then Xavier again.

“Oh.”

Xay frowned. “Why you say it like that?”

“Because every time you in here, it’s something.”

“See, that’s hate.”

“That’s bookkeeping.”

Tyler laughed.

I pointed toward her.

“Kiana, get over here.”

She walked the rest of the way over.

“What?”

“This nigga saying he paying Friday.”

Her eyes immediately went to Xavier.

“All of it?”

Kiana tapped her screen.

“Friday?”

“Friday.”

“What time?”

Xay frowned. “Damn, I gotta make an appointment?”
